"Added a Sunroom and turned an unfinished basement into an apartment. Distinctive Design did a fantastic job. They were more than willing to work with me when I wanted to change the dimensions of a room because they understand things can change. They kept to their promised schedule and were great to work with. I highly recommend Distinctive Design Remodeling."

"Carlos did an excellent job with our basement bathroom. Our bathroom looks better than I could have imagined. Our house was built in 1950, and the basement was completely unfinished. Now itâ s beautiful and functional. Carlos answered all the questions I had, and explained what he was doing during the whole renovation. We will definitely be hiring for future projects. Carlos was very professional, kind and courteous, and I highly recommend him to anyone doing home improvements."

"My back kitchen wall had severe water damage that ruin most of the drywall and rotted window sill inside and out. We had two really old windows and decided to go to one. We had them to replace the drywall, outside wood which included reframing the window and covering the previous window. The also painted to match the colors inside and out. Also had the to replace a piece of the floor by the back door because it had became soft and while doing that check the joists and other floor in that area. Mike Cash came out for the estimate and was courteous and informative. He did all that he could to keep the project as low as possible. The crew took 3 1/2 days to complete the project. Steven and Jon worked hard and efficient. They explain the steps and answered my questions. We have a dog and they made sure the gate stayed close while they were there. They were very knowledgeable. They were pleasant and friendly. The cost for the project was a very fair price. Definitely will hire them again."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:

  • Replacing insulation 

  • Replacing carpet or other flooring 

  • Adding heating and cooling

  • Adjusting or adding walls and doors

  • Altering or adding plumbing elements

If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

You should always use high-quality lumber for your framing in order to ensure it will last the test of time and resist moisture. Use 2-foot by 4-foot lumber that is pressure-treated for your framing.

Professional remodelers streamline the process, manage permits, and handle renovations efficiently—significantly mitigating risk while maintaining standards.

Yes, you can install a summer kitchen or kitchenette in your basement. They serve similar purposes as outdoor kitchens, keeping the main floor of the house cool and providing another space to cook and congregate. Basement kitchens are also a worthwhile alternative for homeowners without much space in the backyard. They come with a few logistical questions to sort out, though, like ventilation and waterproofing.
